What is being bought

Published requirement description

Loreburn Housing Association (LHA) is commissioning Stock Condition Surveys (SCS) across its housing stock to provide accurate, reliable and auditable data to support:

  • Scottish Housing Quality Standard (SHQS) compliance.
  • Energy Efficiency Standard for Social Housing (EESSH).
  • Long-Term Asset Management Strategy.
  • Business Planning and Financial Forecasting.
  • Planned Investment Programming.
  • Net Zero and Decarbonisation Planning.
  • Regulatory Assurance and Audit Requirements.

The survey programme forms part of LHA’s rolling stock condition survey strategy, with the objective of surveying approximately 25% of stock annually over a four-year cycle. It is envisaged that the full four-year programme will include approximately 2,580 properties located within rural, semi-rural and urban areas throughout the Dumfries and Galloway region.

The contract will initially be awarded for a two-year period, with extension options of up to two further 12-month periods. Any extension will depend on successful delivery of the initial contract period, ongoing assessment of the contractor’s performance against the published KPIs within the Invitation to Tender document, and Loreburn Housing Association’s sole discretion.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
